Mayón’s big blast is feared any time now as Christmas nears

“Parameters are high until now and the intensifying activity might force us to raise the alert level to its highest level but it would happen only when Mayón shoots a straight ash column containing pyroclastic materials and molten, burning rocks as big as houses or buses from its crater, accompanied by intense rumbling and jittering of the ground felt as far as this city,” said resident volcanologist Eduardo Laguerta.

Literally speaking, it’s going to be one “bright and shiny” Christmas that no Bicolano would ever want to have.

This impending disaster is beyond anyone’s control. Only God’s hand is able to hold off any natural catastrophe. As we people feel helpless, we can still make our contributions through prayers and intercessions.

We can only wish the Bicolanos a safe and anxiety-free Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!
